Westerdam June 11-18
We selected this ship based upon the dates the family was available and ships that are more wheelchair friendly. We were traveling with an 87 year old woman who could walk short distances but needed a wheelchair most of the time. There were six people in our group in three cabins and as the group leader this was my 8th cruise.
Ship things we really liked.
Cabin 5001 Handicapped cabin. Extra large room for the same balcony rate. Large bathroom which the wheelchair could easily roll into. Tub with shower and separate shower area with seat. Many grab bars. One of our four forward facing cabins with a forward facing window which came in very handy at the Hubbard glacier.
Cabin 5005. Very small interior cabin. Directly over the main showroom (which occupies decks 1 to 4.) All of the rehearsal music in the daytime and show music at night was very loud in this cabin.
Cabin 5013. Balcony cabin. The only drawback was the ships thrusters were very loud when leaving posts.
